Who are you?

Ajara turned to him with a piercing gaze as if saying ; who are you?

"Yes." she replied

"Are you Ajara Ibrahim?" he said with anticipation

"Do I know you?" she said without answering yes or no, any sensible person will know what it means

"I saw you at a cooking contest in one of the popular restaurants, that's BA restaurant. We met there. And I was among the judges?"

Well apparently it was not a specific number of judges as it was every customer present. The event also went on for several days.

"Oh ok, but sorry I don't have a good memory sometimes .." she replied in a polite tone averting her focus to the man in front of her.

She has even saved his face with her words trying to ignore him but this guy still open is mouth to talk but was stopped when his girlfriend pull on his sleeve

"So what do you say Shadrach? will you give me the chance or you don't also like my..."

" l am not an antagonistic person neither am I without manners. How about I ask you out after we get familiar with each other? Of course you can say no but I will still try my luck" Shadrach said in a tone as if he was trying to win the hurt heart of his first crush.

The crowd was now urging Ajara to accept and not miss out , while the lady who was happy for disgracing herself without knowing was now fuming with anger but dare not say a thing as she will only be criticized by the women around. What she did does not only affect her but also other women too for making them seem shameless.

Ajara held onto Shadrach's arm and was about to live but stop when she reached the couple .."name?" she asked

"uh, am Andrews Newton " the guy responded with smiles clouded with his disgusting thoughts .

Ok, and she is.....?" she asked nodding her head towards the lady by him.

"Betty" he replied

"Betty, thank you. I think this is what the call 'one mans meat is another mans poison " and with that she left with Shadrach

"Let me drop you." He said the moment they were out of the publics eye into the underground parking lot

"No need, I ..." she couldn't finish her sentence when the guy carefully drag her towards a luxurious sports car.

"Get in" he said in a flat tone as he opens the door for her like a gentleman

"Is this your car?" she asked with surprised and shock evident in her face.

' Every woman is the same , I thought she was going to let me have a second opinion some minutes ago. Tch .....What was I thinking ' he thought before looking at her with his cold and emotionless eyes. " why?"

"Didn't she say that you're poor? so how? "she spoke seemingly saying the last sentence to herself .

"Just get in" he said

"Alright "

The drive turned to be an awkward one since none said anything. Ajara who is a talkative sometimes couldn't take it so she said..." Sorry about earlier. is just that I couldn't stand her. Hope I didn't offend you in anyway."

"No" he replied in a flat tone

"So you are not angry that a stranger became too nosy and got involved in your problem?" she asked again while looking at him

"Just mine your business next time, where should I drop you?" he replied

"What is wrong with you? Are just helped and now....."

" where should I drop you?" said Shadrach in a cold tone as if someone is wasting is time.

Ajara was stunned for a few seconds before she pointed in front...." leave me there"

" Alright " he replied with the same tone leaving Ajara more annoyed for meeting him.

is not that she really wanted him as a boyfriend but can't he be more polite?

" Take this" he removed some cash from his wallet and gave it to her with the same tone.

" What for?" she asked with confusion

"For you." he replied

" I don't remember asking you for money." she said while trying to suppress her anger

"I won't be giving you my number to disturb me, so lets just end it" he said in an arrogant manner

"hahaha..... " she laughed in condescending way and later looked at him saying .." hold on a minute.

After saying that she took the money and got down walking towards the homeless people by the street. She gave the money to them making sure that he can see her from the car.

When she got back she spoke first when she saw him opening his mouth .." Mr. Shadrach, I know you are thinking that am just doing it to impress you, but don't worry, I don't have interest in people like you. Next time if you can't spend your money, give it to them, they need it. So don't waste it. " she picked her phone after saying that and started walking away . She stopped when she was a few steps away and turned to look at the man...." thanks for the drive anyway". she stopped a taxi and left leaving him still stunned,angry and ashamed .

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The restaurant was as busy as always. Most workers come to eat their breakfast, lunch and dinner here. This is one of BA's restaurants which is very popular.

Ajara was dressed in a waitress uniform and went to receive the order of the customers that just came in.

"What will you be ordering sir?" she said with her head focusing on the tablet in her hand

Meanwhile the man recognized her voice and moved his head up to see the owner of the voice. The man Is non other than Shadrach.

Ajara who didn't here the customer speaking moved to look at him and was surprised to see him but manage to cover it up with a professional smile

" Sir, what will you be having " she asked

Shadrach who was shocked to see her was still able to put on his expressionless face and gave his other.

They pretended like the have never me before.

After going him his food she was about to walk away when a customer started making a scene.

" What can of restaurant is this that will serve food with hair inside? Are you trying to poison us or what? I will not let this pass? " Her voice was so loud that every customer started paying attention.

From the corner where Shadrach was , Ajara saw the lady smirk when no one was paying attention to her and started shouting again.

" What kind of foolish trouble maker is this?" she said and pinch the skin between her eyes.

Shadrach who heard her looked at her with a look that no one knows what he was thinking inside that head of his. Ajara walked towards the lady who was making a fuss.

" Can I have a look" she asked after she got closer to the lady

" You a waitress what can you do? I want to meet the manager?" she continued her noise

" I served you remember? So let me have a look" she said in a polite voice still having her polite smile on her face.

The lady was about to reprimand her but the customers around agreed with Ajara so she could only swallow her was and give her a scornful look.

Ajara removed the long strand of hair so that everyone could see.

"so is true"

" I never thought this restaurant will be this shameless to serve such a meal"

"This will be my last time here"

Those around started saying this and many more hash words making the lady put on a smug look.

Ajara on the hand was still smiling and later started laughing which attracted everyone's attention.

"Look I served you but I don't have this kind of hair" she removed her scarf letting her locks fall to her back.." and also..." she added and waved at one of the chefs to come over, " he prepare it".

The chef in question still had is hair covered and when he removed it his hair color was blond.

" So tell me young lady, where did this come from?" asked Ajara and this time chuckling between her words confusing those around. Wasn't she suppose to be worried?
